Dance Vision Mastery Camp 2005

I just signed up to attend Dance Visions's camp this June (12-17th) in Vegas. I have never been to one of these, but am looking forward to it.
There were a couple positive comments in the archives - but I was just curious if anyone is planning on going this year? Also - does anyone have any other comments to make on past years?

I'm going more to get 8 hours of dance a day, a little vacatio, and to meet some new people than for instruction. I'm sure there will be a lot to pick up anyway.

I attended last year's event. It was fun. It is a lot of information to absorb. The beginner's classes are huge in attendance, if you are an advanced dancer (silver and above) the classes are a lot smaller.

BYU in Utah has two summer camps, in June and July, with top notch instructors. Their rates are a lot more reasonable than commercial camps.
I have never gone to these camps, but heard from people who did that it was a fantastic experience. The website is: http://ce.byu.edu/cw/cwdance/2005/a_ballroom.cfm

I should also mention that these camps fill up very quickly. A couple of years ago, I know they were full by sometime in March, especially for single women. So if you are interested, don't put it off much longer.

Can anybody who's been make a recommendation about the quality of those things? Yes. I know it's about the dancing. But how are the dorms? :roll: :lol:

Sparse, but neat and clean. The communal restrooms/showers seemed to bother one or two people the year I went, but most found it fine. The food is good and you get a lot for the money. The onlyt things to keep in mind are 1) NO coffee or tea in the mornings for those who depend on it, and 2) there are set meal times (not really such a problem since they fit the dance schedule).

Regarding the Dance Vision Camp:
I think you'll have a lot of fun. The coaches they have are outstanding. The only negative for me is that it was sometimes heavy on patterns and routines and low on technique.

Just a neat dinner jacket for both nights should be fine.
If you are going to participate in the dance performances on thursday night, you want to wear something that would be comfortable to dance in.
The dance performances are a lot of fun, i highly encourage you to take part in it.
